DDO Server Transfers 2025
New 64-bit servers will go live on July 9th and you will have until August 31st to transfer characters off the 32-bit servers before they are closed.
At a later date TBD, SSG will reopen the 32-bit game worlds only for players to prepare their characters for transfer with no questing or other gameplay available for two years. edit

Death Ward
(Redirected from Deathward)

| Name: | Death Ward |
|---|---|
| School: | Transmutation |
| Spell Level: | Blc 5 , Clr 4 , DarkA 4 , DrDi 4 , Drd 5 , FvS 4 , Pal 4 , Sacred 4 |
| Special: | Wlk 4 (with Tainted Scholar's Core 4) |
| Components: | Verbal Verbal: A verbal component is a spoken incantation. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot act or speak. Certain rare spells, such as Silence Creature, may temporarily disable spells that require verbal components., SomaticSomatic: A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot move causing arcane spell failure resulting in a ruined spell. Spells without a somatic component may be used with disregard to Arcane Spell Failure chance. Note - that characters make the same arm gestures for most spells in DDO, so you can't tell which spells require this component by watching your character's animations., Divine FocusDivine Focus: A divine focus component is an item of spiritual significance. The divine focus for a Cleric, Favored Soul, or Paladin is a holy symbol appropriate to the character’s faith. This has no gameplay applications in DDO, as all characters are always considered to be carrying a divine focus component at all times and it does not require a inventory slot.

Description
Grants a friendly creature immunity to death spells and effects, energy drain, and negative energy effects.
Notes
- Notably, this includes the Enervation and Finger of Death effects of a Beholder, but not its Disintegration ray. (Additionally, a Beholder can dispel Death Ward like any other spell.)
- Death Ward is also useful against Inflict wounds spells and Phantasmal Killer spells.
- Death Ward does not block the ability damage of melee special attacks some Undead monsters perform. However you can negate the ability damage of these attacks by actively blocking. Clarification: Death Ward does block the Strength Damaging effects of various Umbral creatures on-hit. (Tested on Live and Hardcore servers, confirmed)
- Death Ward doesn’t remove negative levels that the creature has already gained.
- Death Ward is more powerful than the continuous item enhancement called deathblock, which only protects against death effects, and not other kinds of negative energy.
